She hasn’t had any crust or drainage around it at all. And she is the only one out of 6 that have this on one eye

Can you see any feathers coming in around her eye or other parts of the body? It's probably normal just want to make sure.

How about nibbling see any one nibbling? although that is almost a perfect circle. lol

She does have feathers coming in on her body no nibbling that I’ve seen, think I’ll just keep an eye on it and make sure it doesn’t get crusty or drainage, if that happens what may it be?

Could be an irritant in your brooder ,dusty bedding, dusty feed. You could try rinsing the eye with some saline wash using 1/8th teaspoon salt to 1 cup of warm water if you notice it draining or watering. If it got real bad there is Terramycin eye ointment. Doesn't look like anything to be worried about now though
